Peugeot 206 2009-2014 Owner's Manual Safety Airbags

!!62 AIRBAGS Front airbags Impact detection zones System designed to maximise the safety of the occupants (with the exception of the rear centre passenger) in the event of violent collisions. It supplements the action of the force-limiting seat belts. If a collision occurs, the electronic de-tectors record and analyse the front and side impacts sustained in the impact detection zones: - in the case of a serious impact, the airbags are triggered instantly and protect the occupants of the vehicle (with the exception of the rear centre passenger); immediately after the impact, the airbags defl ate rapidly so that they do not hinder visibility or the exit of the occupants, - in the case of a minor or rear impact or in certain roll-over conditions, the airbags will not be triggered; the seat belt alone is suffi cient to pro-vide optimum protection in these situations. The airbags do not operate when the ignition is switched off. This equipment will only operate once. If a second impact occurs (dur-ing the same or a subsequent acci-dent), the airbag will not operate. A. Front impact zone. B. Side impact zone. System which protects the driver and front passenger in the event of a seri-ous front impact to limit the risk of injury to the head and chest. The airbags are fi tted in the centre of the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the front passenger. Triggering They are deployed simultaneously in the event of a serious front impact ap-plied to all or part of the front impact zone A in the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane direct-ed from the front towards the rear of the vehicle. The front airbag infl ates between the front occupant of the vehicle and the dashboard to cushion their forward movement. Triggering of the airbag(s) is ac-companied by a slight emission of harmless smoke and a noise, due to the activation of the pyro-technic cartridge incorporated in the system. This smoke is not harmful, but sensitive individuals may experi-ence slight irritation. The noise of the detonation may result in a slight loss of hearing for a short time.
63 Operating fault Lateral airbags Triggering The lateral airbags are triggered unilater-ally in the event of a serious side impact applied to all or part of the lateral impact zone B , perpendicular to the longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a horizontal plane and directed from the outside to-wards the inside of the vehicle. The lateral airbag infl ates between the occupant of the vehicle and the corre-sponding door trim panel. Impact detection zones A. Front impact zone. B. Side impact zone. Deactivating the front passenger's front airbag To ensure the safety of your child, it is essential to deactivate the passenger's airbag when you install a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being seriously injured or killed if the airbag were to infl ate. With the ignition switched off , insert the key into the passenger's airbag de-activation switch, turn it to the "OFF"position, then remove the key keeping the switch in the new position. Reactivation As soon as the child seat is removed, turn the airbag switch to the "ON" po-sition to reactivate the airbag and thus ensure its safety function. System which protects the driver in the event of a serious side impact in order to limit the risk of injury to the chest. The lateral airbag is fi tted in the seat back frame, on the door side. When the ignition is on, this warning lamp remains lit on the instrument panel if the passen-ger's airbag is deactivated. If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the multifunction screen, contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have the airbag system checked. In the "OFF" position, the passenger's airbag will not be triggered in the event of an impact.
!64 For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules: Sit in a normal upright position. Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt. Do not place anything between the occupants and the airbags (a child, pet, object...). This could hamper the operation of the airbags or injure the occupants. After an accident or if the vehicle has been stolen or broken into, have the airbag system checked. All work on the airbag system is strict-ly forbidden unless it is carried out by qualifi ed personnel of the PEUGEOT network. Even if all of the precautions men-tioned are observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to the head, chest or arms when an air bag is triggered cannot be ruled out. In fact, the bag infl ates almost instantly (within a few milliseconds) then defl ates within the same time discharging the hot gas via openings provided for this purpose. Front airbags Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its spokes or resting your hands on the centre part of the wheel. Passengers must not place their feet on the dashboard. Smoke as little as possible as deployment of the airbags can cause burns or the risk of injury from a cigarette or pipe. Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or hit it violently. Lateral airbags Only put approved covers on the seats. These will not hinder the triggering of the lateral airbags. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Do not fi x or attach anything to the seat backs. This could cause injury to the chest or arms when the lateral airbag infl ates. Do not sit with the upper part of the body any nearer to the door than necessary.
